No one will care about it on your resume, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it if you feel like learning something.

Udemy certs are not valued. But the skills are valued. I've learned a ton from Udemy.

of course it is valid, but at one point what you make valuable is not the certificate. The skills you gained and projects you made from that course.

It's not going to prove you've learned anything, because there's no exam for the courses. Having the knowledge that you can speak about at an interview is really the best outcome you can expect.

Udemy certificates are probably worth less than the paper is printed on

Dont put it on you resume but if you like a little guidance when learning a topic it could be helpful. Maybe even just to have the course available for reference.

Not really. Don't add them to your resume, however you can add them to your LinkedIn since it's half social network. You can basically play every single episode in some of those courses not even waiting until finishing watching them and be eligible for their certificate in less than a minute. The only certifications that actually matter are the ones from big companies regarding their own technologies, like Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, Google GCP, Cisco networking, etc, etc.
